The 13 biggest snubs of the 2017 Golden Globe nominations

With more TV shows and platforms than ever before, every awards show is bound to make some very difficult choices.

Naturally, each year there are a ton of deserving actors, writers, producers, and shows that end up without a nomination.

But the snubs for our favorites don't get any easier to digest each year, as evidenced by the 2017 Golden Globes nominations announced on Monday. The Globes are seen in many Hollywood circles as the precursor to the Emmys, so a nomination here can be very important.

This year, the comedy series category was tougher than ever. Awards favorites, including HBO's "Silicon Valley," went forgotten.

And while an awards show can't hit every TV actor or show that stood out in the year's pop culture, "SNL's" Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump impersonators, "The Walking Dead's" new murderous villain, and the show that makes you look at your mobile phone in a whole different way were upsetting absences.

Here's a look at the biggest TV snubs of the 2017 Golden Globes nominations:

"Empire" (Fox)

While some may be disappointed that Taraji P. Henson didn't get a nom for the movie "Hidden Figures," TV fans may be scratching their heads as to why last year's drama actress winner didn't get recognized at all for "Empire" this year. In fact, "Empire" got no love at the Globes this year at all.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan, "The Walking Dead" (AMC)

As the new big bad villain on "The Walking Dead," Jeffrey Dean Morgan has flipped that show on its head. The energy he's brought the show should've been recognized.

"Silicon Valley" (HBO)

"Silicon Valley" is one of the funniest and most scathing looks at the center of the tech world. It has also been nominated for two years running. But now, just zeros for the HBO comedy.
